The piece is loaded with timely and applicable advice from a variety of sources, including — to name a few — Dietram Scheufele, the John E. Ross chair in science communication at UW-Madison; Naomi Oreskes, a professor of history and science studies at UCSD; and Katherine Hayhoe, at atmospheric scientist at Texas Tech, a research university situated in socially-and-politically conservative West Texas.

One of my favorite pieces of featured advice comes from geneticist Sean Carroll, in the form of his "general manual of denialism — six tactics used time and again in denial campaigns since at least the nineteenth century." It's a basic, albeit hugely helpful, guide to spotting denialism in your daily life, and a useful way to gauge the mindset of your audience when determining how best to approach your discussions surrounding science.
